Penny Hardaway's 'Blue Chips' uniform back at auction
Penny Hardaway's uniform, worn as the character Butch McRae in "Blue Chips," is on the auction block again, this time with the promise of it being photo-matched.
Grey Flannel Auctions owner Michael Russek said Hardaway's jersey and shorts, which sold last summer at the Prop Store for $4,095, has been consigned for an upcoming auction in May. The Western University Dolphins uniform has been photo-matched by Davious Sports to a publicity picture for the movie.
The 1994 movie, which starred Hardaway alongside his then-Orlando Magic teammate Shaquille O'Neal and Nick Nolte, told the tale of the Western University Dolphins, a team that bought its way to the top. The movie didn't fare that well at the box office, pulling in $26 million on a $35 million budget. It later became more of a cult classic and was thought of more positively.
A jersey said to be worn by O'Neal, who played Neon Boudeaux in the film, sold for $1,912 in 2009 at Heritage Auctions.
Tickets to the games where the action was shot, in Frankfort, Ind., frequently pop up in auctions. They sell for about $400 with O'Neal's signature.
